selection-foreground - Selection Foreground Alternative

This extension allows to change color of selected text and kinda implements functionality of native editor.selectionForeground property (which doesn't work currently).

Notes

It renders with a bit of delay, it's because of the way VSCode decorators work.

Features

• Automatically highlights selected text with a specified color

Configuration

• selection-foreground.textColor - color of selected text (default: #000000)
